Indian Hackers Give Eid Gift To Pakistan Bank Account Holders

Indian hackers hack into HBL Lahore branch ATM, deprive account holders of thousands of rupees around Eid

LAHORE(Sarfraz Ali) – Habib Bank Limited (HBL) ATM cards were hacked by Indian cyber criminals who withdrew money from the teller machines, with the total cash withdrawn amounting to thousands of rupees, victims told Daily Pakistan Global here on Monday.

According to the victims, so far 18 people have come forward to register complaints at HBL Walton Road Lahore branch code (1250) as soon they received the SMS about money being withdrawn from their account.

Sohail Ahmad, an employee of a private factory (PEL), said that on Sunday night Rs. 25,000 was withdrawn from his account and he received an SMS immediately. “Today, (Monday) I approached the branch operation manager for complaint. The bank manager said ,”Your account had been hacked by Indian cyber criminals and gave me a claims form to fill”. When asked about reversal of transaction, he said, “I am not sure, as the bank has asked to wait for 15 to 20 days”.

Mohammd Sarfraz Khan, who lost Rs 50,000 said, “I met representatives of the bank today and they assured me that money will be returned within fifteen to twenty days. I cannot buy new clothes for children and not able to purchase sacrificial animal on the eve of Eid”.

Another victim, Adnan Butt, said “This matter should be taken to the FIA, because I fear money stolen could be used in terrorism activities”.

The victims have demanded that the government take immediate action on this issue so that they can celebrate Eid with their families.

Senior operations manager of HBL Walton road branch, Sajjad Hussain, said, “We are probing the case from every angle. Initially, we have found Indian hackers are involved in this heinous crime.[*] Only two to three victims have reported so far. We have blocked the ATM cards and alerted officials in Karachi.”

" Famous Maulana" Arrested For Drinking Wine

Pakistan Ulema Council chief who called for â��Jihadâ�� in Afghanistan arrested with wine

The All Pakistan Ulema Council chief Mawlana Tahir Ashrafi who had called for ‘Jihad’ and ‘suicide attacks’ in Afghanistan and Kashmir was arrested with wine ‘which is strictly forbidden in Islam’.

Based on a report published on the website of Pakistan’s The News Tribe (TNT) on Monday, police were on routine checking in Islamabad when they recovered wine bottles from Mawlana Ashrafi’s vehicle.

According to TNT, Mawlana Ashrafi was sent to jail but a man whose name is not mentioned in the report released him.

TNT report further states that Mawlana Ashrafi had been detained on wine charges several times in the past but later released based on his connections.[*][/b]

The report adds that due to Mawlana’s connections, his case does not go forward.

[*] The Maulana is a well known admirer of the "Haram Liquid" , but because his sacrifices on behalf of the Deep State , outweigh his minor transgressions pertaining to his anti Islamic mode of living, he will obviously be given a "slap on the wrist" and quietly released.

Extent Of Saudi Influence In Pakistan Disclosed

Pakistan Continues to Oppose Saudi Aggression in Yemen[*]

[*] So the Pakis have now "offered themselves to the Ruskies" hoping that Putin will become their new "sugar daddy" and gift them with arms and ammunition

WikiLeaks has provided proof of Saudi involvement in Pakistani internal affairs at all levels.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The BBC, referring to a poll conducted by Buitms University in Quetta, reported that Pakistani opposition to Saudi aggression in Yemen is increasing and mentioned it as the turning approach of Pakistanis to Russia and it also evaluates future Saudi-Pakistani relations.

According to this poll, 87 percent of Pakistanis oppose the Saudi war, 84 percent of them are against Pakistan's participation in the war and more than 85% have introduced this war as Western countries' sedition.

This survey also says that the dominance of Brillo parties in Pakistan and Russian influence among Pakistani officials are two factors that Pakistani are opposed to Saudi aggression.

WikiLeaks has provided proof of Saudi involvement in Pakistani internal affairs at all levels. Even King Abdullah dismissed some university presidents in Pakistan.

Thus, Saudi interference in Pakistan's religious, political and social affairs as well as some senior officials of Pakistan's interest toward Saudi Arabia psychologically undermine the independence of Pakistan and this is the main reason for the striking divergence of views between the public in Pakistan with Saudi Arabia.

We will hear more crap coming from Pakistan about Indians harming Pakistan. Now it is hackers hurting the ordinary innocent Pakistani folk. It started with bad Indians "voilating" the LoC. Soon it will be some other shite... all intended at garnering international sympathy for poor victim Pakisatan. Probably some idiot had the fine idea of doing a survey or something like that and the results suggested that Pakistan gets no sympathy because it is seen as the aggressive power that initiates violence.

Pakistan, China Want To Keep JF-17 Technology Away From US And India: report

China and Pakistan have a pact to keep the technology of their jointly developed JF-17 Thunder multirole combat aircraft away from the United States and India because of its superiority to America's F-16 fighter jet, claims the Beijing-based Sina Military Network.

Chinese engineers are reportedly continuing to look for ways to lighten the weight and streamline the aircraft. One new advancement is pairing an RD-93 with a so-called divergent supersonic air intake, which is said to be lighter, easier to maintain, and minimizes the JF-17's already low radar signals.

According to the Sina Military report, expert comparisons between the JF-17 and the US F-16 have the Chinese-Pakistani aircraft dominating, adding that it is akin to a featherweight knocking out a heavyweight. The US has tried to get its hands on the JF-17 to analyze why that is the case but has been turned down by Pakistan because of a deal with China to never share the jet's technology with the U.S or India, the report added .

Taliban attacks have been costing Pakistan's economy as much as $5 billion a year in lost investment, the country's finance secretary said, adding that Islamabad is keeping open the option of another IMF programme.

"We have seen in the past foreign (investment) inflows of $5-7 billion but today we are not even having $2 billion," he said, noting that security costs and damage to the economy had to be added to that.

Eleven out of 12 IMF programmes Pakistan has had since 1998 have been scrapped or abandoned because the government failed to implement reforms.

Islamabad in a fix over joining US-led coalition

ISLAMABAD:

With the war against militancy raging on within its own boundaries, [*]Pakistan has to decide within the coming days whether or not to join the US-backed international alliance against the ultra-extremist Islamic State (IS).

[*] But according to the bombastic releases by the ISPR, the war against militancy has already been "won"

.

Washington is expected to announce this new alliance – Sahel to South Asia –[*] soon and has already taken Islamabad into confidence, he added.

[*]What assurance has Massa received from its client state that any "confidential information" will not be leaked to IS by Islamist sympathizers in the Paki Govt, as was done, when info was leaked to Al - Qaeda, before any operation

However, Dr Arif Alvi of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf believes Pakistan should not jump into others’ wars. “We should fight our own war in Pakistan,” he said. “We must stay away from this alliance but we can share intelligence with international forces fighting against IS.”[*]

[*]" We should not jump into ................wars." All this is for domestic consumption and showbaazi and the media knows well that independent public opinion does not have any voice, when it comes to foreign policy matters, as the matter is decided by the Paki Fauj.
Now that the Moolah from Afghanistan is expected to dry up very shortly, due to US withdrawal, the Pakis will jump in any Massa Led Coalition if the PRICE IS RIGHT

. They have a long way to go to graduate from a rentier state to an independent self respecting country.

Pakistan to go 'soft' on Afghanistan over PAF attack

Pakistan on Monday decided against lodging a strong protest with Afghanistan over the Badhaber attack, sources privy to the development told The Express Tribune.

“Due to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s weak writ, Pakistan’s protest with Afghanistan on Badhaber attack will be more harmful than beneficial,” said a source who attended a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Islamabad on Monday.

Pakistan maintains that the attackers of Badhaber had come from Afghanistan and the attack was planned and coordinated from the neighboring country.

In the same meeting, it was decided that Pakistan will not accuse US, India and Israel of sheltering Osama Bin Laden as all the three had weak governments.

India does not share border with former CIS states. China can promise to provide warm water port access to Russia via their captive port in Pukiland. It is possible to develop road and rail links all the way to Russia from Gawadar port. Cheen owns SU-30 but not SU-35. If Pukis get SU-35, Cheen will reverse engineer it and incorporate it into their next upcoming aircrafts.

Just had a thought - Russia offering SU-35 to Pakis could be to dissuade India from F-35 discussions with US. There seems to be a complex geo-strategic repositioning going on in Russia and we would be naive to imagine that it does not touch India. Pakistan (given Cheen influence and its geographic location) will be a part of it with impact to India.

‘India, Pakistan will both lose if conflict escalates’ - The Hindu

When there is a conflict between two neighbouring countries, the biggest danger is not knowing how it will escalate, according to M.K. Narayanan, former National Security Advisor.

Speaking at the joint meeting of 10 Rotary Clubs on the relationship between India and Pakistan, Mr. Narayanan said: “Both countries are nuclear powers, so both have a lot to lose if the relationship escalates into a conflict.”

Through the years, Kashmir has become a symbol of the Indo-Pak relationship. But, in reality there are a number of issues between the two countries. “Hardly, anyone in Kashmir wants to join Pakistan,” he also said.

He said Pakistan is gaining in confidence when it comes to dealing with India.

“Pakistan’s economy is picking up. They have managed to keep India out of Afghanistan and they have a good relationship with the current government,” he said, adding that Pakistan also has a good relationship with China.

On the other hand, India feels that Pakistan will respond better if India makes more concessions, he added.

That's not a direct quote KM. I can pretty much guarantee that the staff reporter of communist apologist newspaper "The Hindu" mangled his statement, though I'm still waiting for the video of the talk.

MKN would be the last person to make concessions to the Paks. The current NSA was MKN's protege for many years, and MKN was also the one responsible for ensuring he became IB Director. There was a time when Doval was considered by RAW for a senior role in Kashmir, but MKN told Dulat to chill because "he is needed for bigger things". And very soon thereafter Doval became IB Director upon his recommendation.

Unfortunately, due to the Gandhi family and their acolytes, he was removed from the post not very long thereafter because they felt AD was too close to LKA (who is also considered PNG on this forum, unfairly). There was only so far one could go in those days, and many people thought it better to stick around and do whatever was possible rather than leave in a huff and be certain that even worse would come. Was he too hand in glove with the dynasty? At that level and in those days it was impossible not to be. But a buffoon he was not. One day the details of MKN's service to the country will come out. It won't be black and white. But that was the nature of service in those politically involved days.

Of course Doval and MKN disagree now and then on some issues, but AD would not have been a good protege if he did not change with the times and flourish with the times and disagreed with his one-time guru. He is the right man for the right time, under the right leader. India has been lucky.

Sorry for the ramble.

Raheel Mouthpiece ( Bajwa ) Promoted For Services Rendered

ISLAMABAD: A high-level promotion board on Tuesday approved promotion to the rank of Lieutenant-General of four Major-Generals including Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major-General Asim Bajwa.

The board headed by Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif also promoted Major-General Amir Riaz, Major-General Sadiq Ali and Major-General Umar Farooq Durrani.

Lieutenant-General Asim ~~Bajwa~~ Baaja is expected to retain his post as DG ISPR, while Lieutenant-General Amir Riaz has been posted as Commander Southern Command Quetta or Corps Commander Quetta.

Under Bajwa’s leadership, the army conducted military operations in the South Waziristan tribal region to eliminate militancy and restore peace.[*]

[*] Not sure if he is being rewarded for his posting in D.I. Khan or his current duties as the Head Of The Propagandu Unit Of The Paki Fauj

According to a report published in the BBC, Riaz was promoted to the rank of Major General following his statement against Brigadier Ali. According to the report, Ali had tried to recruit Riaz in HuT, but had failed.[*]

[*] So there are still Islamist sympathizers in the Pak Army

After Ayub, Zia, and Mushy, Raheel is now being" promoted" to be the new saviour of the Paki Nation

Ghani denies Afghan involvement in PAF camp attack

ISLAMABAD: The government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan strongly rejected the claims as baseless that Friday’s attack on PAF camp in Peshawar was planned and controlled from Afghanistan, read a statement issued by the office of the Afghan president.

Earlier, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major-General Asim Bajwa [*]had said that the attack on Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Badaber camp was planned and controlled from Afghanistan.

[*] Later reports say that this person has now been promoted to Lt. Gen

“The military operations of Pakistan in Waziristan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have had consequences both for Afghanistan and Pakistan,” the Afghan president’s office said in its statement.

The Darra Adamkhel chapter of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack.

Pak. may join anti-IS coalition - PTI

Pakistan is considering a U.S. request to join a multinational coalition against the Islamic State terror group, which has become the most formidable threat to peace after al-Qaeda, officials said.

The U.S. has requested Pakistan to join the Sahel to South Asia alliance, Foreign Office spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah said, adding that Pakistan is waiting for “details”.

IS has seized hundreds of square miles in Iraq and Syria. But both civil and military leadership is in a fix as joining the coalition will bring domestic backlash.

“Joining a new war will be difficult to sell in the country due to opposition from political and religious groups,” a security official said. But remaining out of the new group may increase isolation of the country which already faced international criticism for “not doing enough” against the war on terror.

Pakistan is also wary of possible reaction from Saudi Arabia as Islamabad refused to join a coalition led by Riyadh in Yemen. “Now joining the new group may further anger the Saudis who are already not happy with Pakistan over the issue of Yemen,” the official said.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is travelling to New York this week to attend the U.N. General Assembly annual session. He is expected to visit the U.S. again next month on an official trip to meet President Barack Obama.

According to government sources, he is expected to have something to show the Americans that Pakistan is not a reluctant ally as it is generally perceived in Washington. Experts believe that the decision to join anti-IS alliance would need support of Parliament.

The government sources said that by joining the new coalition, Pakistan can expect that monetary assistance from the so-called Coalition Support Funds to continue to flow, which otherwise is likely to be stopped after 2015. — PTI

Bajwa is the reason why Bad Sharif has a good reputation in the Media. Bajwa has proven himself to be skilled in Social media (He has ~1.3 M followers on twitter) and also skilled in giving Bad Sharif good exposure (when compared to the civilians). A promotion to him probably signals Bad Sharif is aiming for an extension.

Also if you note, this is one of the crucial differences between Paki setup and SDRE setup. In SDRE-land there is no PR agency for armed forces, it is through ministry of defense. In Paki land on the other hand, the TFTAs have a proper Press department (which also functions as a PR agency) and frequently issue news articles praising the armed forces (sometimes overtly, sometimes subtly putting down the civvies. For example, they made a huge dog and pony show of how Bad Sharif had rushed to the PAF airbase where Mujs did some freedom fighting recently and the whole paki journalist/aam abduls all well "Bad sharif visited with haste, why hasnt Good Sharif shown any interest?!" -- while conveniently forgetting that it was a security lapse on the part of TFTAs which allowed an Air-force based being attacked). Sometimes they completely contradict the civvies, like this one time when Badmash made a press release that Bad Sharif wanted to meet him and Bajwa tweeted that it was Badmash who wanted to meet Bad Sharif.

I think more than the ISI, it is the TFTAs having their own press and PR department that is making the TFTAs potent vis-a-vis the civvies.
